Christmas is fast approaching for me. While I have bought most of my presents, there are still a few I must obtain to completely finish the whole Christmas present thing. I do not know why I dread buying presents though. I just second guess myself with them and can only hope that the receiver of the gift will like what I bought them. I do try to put some thought into buying them a gift. This year, I have gone a bit practical with my gifts. (I will not mention right now what I have bought as a receiver of a gift may read this post!!)
Christmas comes the same time every year. I do try to buy some gifts when I can so the closer it gets to December, I will not stress out so much and end up settling for something because I am in a rush. Why do I seem to wait so long though? It is not like I am out there just "living it up" all year. I have all good intentions of making hand-made gifts but end up not making all that I wanted to for the people on my list.
I always seem to second guess my choices for gifts. Will they like them? What will they say when I am not there about this gift? Will they really use it? Will they appreciate it? Even in this downturn of economic greatness, I worry about Christmas gifts. Not like I have ever had a lot of money to buy people gifts but I always feel like I do not quite get the standard above-quality gifts for family members. Ever felt this pressure to get someone a gift that is not quite in your budget? Something you know they will like but will break your bank? Yep, that is my feeling with gifts this year and what seems like most every year.
Maybe I should stop worrying about them and hope that this year they will see that I am trying to get gifts they will use and maybe can appreciate it? Maybe I should. It is not about the gift is it? I would like to buy you the moon but can afford this little bit of dirt. I hope that you see it comes from my heart and I thought about you when I saw it. It has been a rough year for my money but my gift is from my heart. I hope you enjoy it!
